Direct coupled atmospheric carbon reduction device with hydrogen utilization

A method of converting biomass into hydrogen, the steps of the method comprising:

• creating processed biomass from unprocessed biomass aggregated to a central point having a moisture content of 30% to 45% by weight by:
• adding drying heat to a system configured to reduce moisture of unprocessed biomass to 17% by weight;
• filtering out particulates from the unprocessed biomass which exceed a predetermined diameter threshold using one or more of:
• a screen, diverter gate, and disc screener;
• depositing the processed biomass in storage using a lock hopper system and feed lines;
• submitting the processed biomass, pure oxygen, and super-heated steam to a gasification process to create a syngas using internal reaction thermal energy, wherein the syngas comprises predominantly carbon monoxide and hydrogen, in which:
• a portion of the processed biomass is converted to carbon dioxide that is captured and sequestered in a storage tank;
• and
• the hydrogen is produced and captured;
• wherein the syngas is between 600 and 1,000 degrees Celsius;
• gradually lowering a temperature of the syngas using three fixed bed reactors to increase hydrogen content.
